So no fee?

Fee is $100.

Not sure where you got $100 from? It's been a couple of years, but when I bought my boat used, did below and cost nothing.


Question:

If I purchase a used engine or boat from someone, can the warranty be transferred to me?


Answer:
To transfer the remaining factory warranty into the new owner’s name, please fax a copy of the bill of sale to 920-907-6663, email to registration.support@mercmarine.com, or mail to:
Mercury Marine
Registration & Warranty Dept.
P.O. Box 1939
Fond du Lac, WI 54936-1939
Be sure the following information is included on your bill of sale:
• Date the engine was purchased
• Engine serial number
• Your name and address
• Your telephone number
You can also check the warranty coverage of your engine, or see if it's eligible for a Mercury Product Protection Plan, by using our Request a Quote feature.

I JUST transferred the warranty (3 years + 2 years platinum) this past January (motor was a 2014 Pro XS). Sent a $100 check to Mercury as per their requirements.

This is from their web page, which says the transfer fee is dictated by the horsepower. 200 and above, $100. Below that $75 (75-175 HP) You might have done the transfer before they instated that fee, no idea. But it is certainly there today, or at least it was earlier this year...

I just did it at a Merc dealer on Sat, only $50 for a 150hp.
